What is This Book About

Hi there! I’m JF Truchon, founder and CEO of The Atomic Bear.

My fascination with self-defense using a pen started when I discovered how versatile and empowering it can be. No matter who you are—your strength, background, or where you live—a pen offers self-defense advantages like no other tool.

To deepen my knowledge, I sought out top self-defense coaches worldwide, learning from their expertise and applying it to real-life scenarios. I've developed effective fighting methods, put them to the test, and captured these experiences to share with you in this book.

This book isn’t just a collection of techniques; it’s filled with high-quality illustrations that demonstrate the most practical self-defense moves—from non-lethal to more aggressive and potentially life-saving actions.

You'll find in-depth discussions on essential topics like the legal aspects of self-defense, the mindset of predators, and what to say (and not say) after an incident to protect yourself legally.

Alongside real-life stories of people who made critical mistakes, this book offers invaluable lessons so you don’t have to make the same ones.

Who Is This Book For?

Whether you’re an experienced martial artist, a daily concealed carrier, or just starting out on your self-defense journey, carrying a pen can be a game-changer.

This book shows how it can complement your skills, offering an additional layer of security wherever you go.

I've poured everything into making this book not only informative but visually stunning. With illustrations by DC Comics artist Tom Mandrake, it’s a blend of practical wisdom and true artistry.

The book features insights from renowned figures like Doug Marcaida, attorney Andrew Branca, UFC fighter Natan Levy, and martial arts expert Jesse Enkamp.

I’ve also learned from experienced coaches and combative instructors such as Craig Douglas of ShivWorks, Mike Donvito of EliteYou, and Michael Pesesko of Hard2Hurt.

My journey with these experts is captured in this book, and now, I’m thrilled to bring it to you.

This book is my latest and most personal project. My mission is to empower everyone—family, friends, and you—with the knowledge and skills to feel safe and capable.

No one should live in fear of protecting themselves, nor fear the justice system when they do so in self-defense.
